It's only really now in my 40s I'm starting to enjoy paying a bit more for sonething that will give me some joy. Nice towels, Egyptian cotton bedding, food stuffs from Fortnum & Mason. Zero interest in clothes, hand bags and shoes, or stuff for the house. I also travel as much as possible.

MaybeAMoaner · 03/01/2022 18:34

Full range of dermalogica skin care- pricy but it has transformed my skin.

Obvs Amazon prime with added music unlimited.

ASOS premier and I use it a lot

LibbyL92 · 03/01/2022 18:35

Nails every 3/4 weeks and Hair extensions maintained every 8.

Disney plus
Gym membership

These things make me happy!

devildeepbluesea · 03/01/2022 18:35

Les Mills On Demand + gym subscriptions
Audible - just one book per month, but I've had it for over 11 years so have several hundred books now, and am re-reading some.
Just starting with piano lessons. I was Grade 8 30 years ago, but have barely touched a piano since.

Cleaner
Nails

IntermittentParps · 03/01/2022 18:39

Cleaner
Dermalogica moisturiser (a day one only; night moisturiser and all other skincare is Superdrug/Boots Naturals or whatever it's called)
Good-quality cashmere or wool jumpers for winter; so comforting and so much warmer than thin ones or man-made materials
Nice coffee beans
Good bread from local bakery at about £4 a pop

CMhater · 03/01/2022 18:42

Highlights and cut and blow-dry every 8 weeks.
A spritz of Dior 'Rose n Roses' whenever I feel like it.
A Lush or Bomb Cosmetics bath bomb whenever I'm near a store- a beautiful bath feels so luxurious.
Books- I read every night. It has to be a physical book though. I'm not a Kindle fan.

LadyNell · 03/01/2022 18:44

I like good skincare products and shower products, I do buy flowers every week with my shop at Aldi, dirt cheap so I can afford to, ditto candles. I like nice clothes but never spend a lot I trawl the sales for bargains

I wear make up but not expensive brands. I also like interiors magazines which I buy sometimes.

Never have nails done or hair very often it's long so it gets trimmed every couple of months I'm low maintenance

vickyc90 · 03/01/2022 18:45

A fast car and nice clothes for all of us. My DS wardrobe is mainly next (tho at 8 it's getting more expensive and branded Hmm). Before COVID a 5 star package holiday every year. We are both degree educated professionals working shifts so have the money and enjoy spending it

MuchTooTired · 03/01/2022 18:52

My relatively fast 4x4. He’s like driving a big comfy armchair, and I’m thrilled every trip out. I do need a big car (DTs and dogs x2, rural living which isn’t always gritted) but I don’t necessarily need this car but I love it and if we needed to cut back he's way down on the list of savings.

Buying paintings/jewellery/adding to my ridiculous China collection.

I’m not in to fashion/make up that sort of thing, so these are my little luxuries that are mainly just for me.

Vickles20 · 03/01/2022 18:52

Chanel Coco
Clarins Blue Orchid Treatment Facial Oil
Sainsburys taste the difference Kenyan Fine Tea Bags
Love CBD Balm for anxiety

Nice car
Frequent breaks away (although these feel more like necessities than luxuries at the minute)

Pinkchocolate · 03/01/2022 18:56

Regular massages, facials and the occasional spa. I find it really hard to switch off so I absolutely love them.

LBOCS2 · 03/01/2022 18:56

A Freddie's Flowers delivery fortnightly. Lots of kindle books, I also pay for Kindle Unlimited along with Prime and Spotify. Oh, and a skincare subscription.

LoannaJumley · 03/01/2022 18:59

I've just slathered myself in Elemis Frangipani body oil, smells delicious.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 03/01/2022 19:00

Most of my day to day clothes are Sainsbury’s/EBay, but my sports/outdoor kit is branded it takes a lot of battering!

Tana433 · 03/01/2022 19:00

Molton Brown products (particularly Orange and Bergamot). They were in the hotel where we got married in 2014, never heard of them before but i wouldnt be without them now. Makes birthday and christmas gifts easy for my family!
